The number of e-wallets nowadays makes you wonder why Applr Pay is still not here.

This is probably part of why though. Since there’s so much competition already, unless the potential profits/market share are/is huge they won’t bother.

The legal/regulatory factor is not getting any easier as well. Lots of costs involved there.

Really wish they’d come in though. The local e-wallets are nowhere near as convenient (other than PayWave with cards and (some say) Samsung Pay).

hi what do you mean it is our BNM and local banks? always thought Apple does not want to launch AP here.

why would BNM object?

Speaking out of thin air, but BNM probably wants local entities to back the payment process, aka local banks. Local banks don’t want to use the process coz of the fees (which they could take for themselves if they use their own payment methods). If I’m not mistaken, other local payment providers are also much cheaper than Apple Pay/provide other benefits.

Apple Pay is going to be launch in Malaysia soon, likely by the end of this year. This is an insider news from someone working in the Bank industry.

In case any of the banks are doing market research/interest checks, I must say I'm looking forward to this!

Couldn’t pay at Jaya Grocer today with Apple Pay. Cashier was adamant that they received instructions not to allow Apple Pay, said it might be some payment issue.

Reached out to Jaya Grocer by email and they have clarified that they have briefed all staff that Apple Pay is accepted for payment.
